Slowly Slowly’s New Era Blooms with Latest Single ‘Forgiving Spree’ And Album Announcement
From hues of blue to flourishing daisies, Slowly Slowly have created an intricate web of feeling, melancholia, and introspection that has seen them earnestly and effortlessly become one of Australia’s most prolific storytellers. With no lack of memories to share, the band’s journey sees itself only rising in trajectory, especially with today’s exciting announcements. Not only is the Melbourne quartet releasing their latest single, ‘Forgiving Spree’, but it is partnered with the unveiling of their fifth album of the same namesake. Set for a January release, Slowly Slowly are already ensuring our new year is covered with unmissable music, but still treating us now too!
‘Forgiving Spree’ is laced with the signature Slowly Slowly sound that has been growing and evolving over the course of their career. There is an immediate feeling that encases you when one of their songs starts- of course, there is a depth that comes with the substance of their sincerity, but also a weightlessness that arises from the harmonic relationship between Ben Stewart’s alluring vocals and the band’s solemn instrumentals. From delicate verses to a more ferocious chorus, ‘Forgiving Spree’ travels through a journey of near misses and almost there’s, a hand constantly reaching out, but never far enough to latch on.
The track houses a chorus that has instantly become one of the band’s best, and one that you are sure not to forget for some time to come.
This song is reflective of the same title of the band's fifth album, Forgiving Spree. And from this track, and the previous singles, it is beyond clear that Slowly Slowly are presenting themselves at their most raw and emotive to date, whilst also honing into a wide and approachable sound that sees their music instantaneously connective. In a stadium, with the lights just on them, these songs would sound just as personal as ever (which may become a true sentiment as the band kicks off their first international tour with fellow Aussies, Stand Atlantic, today)!
With Forgiving Spree set for release on January 24th, 2025 via Nettwerk, this single is sure to tie us over for some time to come!
